Background / History

Mu Nujiao was regarded as the strongest mage on her team during the rookie competition. Calm under pressure, she proposed combining her two Plant elements with Zhuang Lifeng's Plant magic to restrain Jiang Yuan's undead, but the plan failed against Jiang Yuan's overwhelming strength and she forfeited. 42

At Pearl Institute, she and her close friend Ai Tutu rented Jiang Yuan's house for fifty thousand per month on a two-year contract. Her initial curiosity about Jiang Yuan's strength grew after repeatedly witnessing his exceptional cultivation and victories. 83 87 89

She joined Jiang Yuan, Mo Fan, and others in the National Prefecture Team. Jiang Yuan's assistance, resources, and inclusion in the team helped her cultivation keep pace, for which she later thanked him. 121 167

During the National Prefecture Team's travels, she was injured after entering mist to seek the Ice Fire Twin Flower. Misty Sea Heart Demons trapped her in illusions; Jiang Yuan's group found and healed her before he dispersed the mist and defeated the demons. 180 181

Following the National Prefecture competition, Mu Nujiao's family sought a closer bond with Jiang Yuan. She candidly told him that the family hoped she would become his fiancée, while making clear that the family would not force her into a marriage of convenience. She resolved to work hard enough to follow his footsteps. 217 218

After Jiang Yuan disappeared to deal with larger matters, Mu Nujiao focused on breaking through to the Super level. She later became a prominent defender of Modu's coastline during the sea-monster crisis. 231 257

Appearance

Mu Nujiao is described as a beautiful, goddess-like young woman whose looks and figure attract attention even among the students of Imperial Capital Academy. 42 122

• Delicate facial features and a demure, elegant bearing. 102 357
• Her eyes are described as beautiful and expressive, often betraying embarrassment or determination. 87 218
• Usually dresses more conservatively than Ai Tutu, though her clothing can still be light and cool. 118

Personality

Mu Nujiao is composed, practical, and firm in dangerous situations. As the strongest member of her early team, she took responsibility for directing their attempt to control the Three-eyed Underworld General. 42

She is determined to improve rather than be discouraged by Jiang Yuan's rapid advancement. After learning he had reached the Super level, she explicitly vowed to work hard to catch up with him. 218

As a leader, she prioritizes safety over glory. During the C2 Residential Area mission, she changed the objective from extermination to investigation when rising water levels suggested stronger sea monsters might be present. She also reprimanded inexperienced students for treating a battlefield casually. 257

Though initially reluctant to admit her feelings for Jiang Yuan, she becomes increasingly direct and trusting in their relationship. 110 218 223
